Have you that have faded noticed that any JWs you have the misfortune of running into do not bring up any "spiritual" subjects?
Just as island man said, deterring persistant spiritual association with the spiritually weak/sick is part of any cult's hygiene protocols.
Keeping the apostate "virus" from spreading to non-affected dubs is to avoid or keep to an absolute minimum any "spiritual" association with weak or DA/DF family or friends lest the thinking/feeling virus spread.

Should every J.W. be an evangelizer/preacher?
by The Searcher inaccording to the wtbts all 1st century christians were evangelizers/preachers, and by extension, all modern-day j.w.
's should be doing likewise.
(for the moment, let's ignore the org's own contradiction that only their elite anointed class are "ambassadors", and that the preaching work was assigned to them!

This never made sense to me while I was in. I have gone D2D with all manner of crazy or stupid witnesses who were absolute shit at the doors and I would have to try to politely "rescue" the householder whenever it was their turn to avoid creating a DNC.
I thought it was embarrasing and not a good look for any group to have just anyone representing them to the public.

Great news, good for her.
Hope she finds the courage to fade/leave it's well worth the pain and discomfort of doing so.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses view the governing body differently since seeing them on the TV?
by jambon1 ini think this may be a bigger issue for the society than we realise.. when you consider that witnesses have now had well over a year of regularly seeing their 'channel to god' with their own eyes, what do you think they're thinking?.
i'm going to put this as respectfully as i can; these men are clearly a bunch of utter clowns who are laughably inadequate to present a tv show, but also, they are now ridiculously discredited due to the absolute shite that they've spoken in these laughable productions.. consider things from a jw's perspective; tony morris, stephen lett & geoffrey jackson are 'the channel' that makes their religion 'special'.
these men are the channel god is using to lead his people in the modern day.

Good on sparky!
JBorg broadcasts are a bit like creepy clown sightings that last for an hour or so and more irritatingly they talk aswell.

What happens to the elders?
by Worldling9 inwith so many khs closing and congos consolidating, what happens to the elders?
clearly there won't be a place for all of them.
would the older ones be the first to go, losing their long held positions of 'power'?.

I reckon all elders will be redundant soon when the org becomes an internet televangelist style religion.
Until then, the theocratic turf wars will increase and hopefully will cause more to wake up.

Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians, why do so many ex JW's deny this?
by nicolaou injehovah's witnesses accept jesus as christ, the son of god.
they try, in their own way, to live by his teachings and imitate him.
they pray, read the bible and meet together regularly for worship.. i won't minimise any of the harm and damage they cause but for the life of me, i can't see how anyone can credibly deny that they are christians.. why do so many former jws have a problem with this?

Who cares? I'm assuming the op cares enough to ask the question.
But you're right it is a bit like arguing over who is the best Batman or Superman impersonator.

Major congregational quake in Southern California
by Hecce inthis notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.
a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.
the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.

by ILoveTTATT2 inso... i live in mexico and i am helping with an esl class (english as a second language).

Religion uses shame as a weapon.
Don't believe religion they lie for profit. There is no such thing as having all the answers (thank god,lol)
We are all learning, there will always, everyday be something new to learn that's what makes life so interesting.
"When you know better......you can do better." It's as simple as that.
